Farragut Middle School’s boys basketball team boasted a balanced scoring attack in its victory against new rival Hardin Valley Thursday, Nov. 8. No Admiral player scored in double figures but nine found their way into the scorebook.

Still, that wasn’t the biggest story of the day. That was Farragut’s defense.

The Admirals didn’t surrender a field goal to the Hawks in the first half en route to posting a 38-17 Knox County Middle School Basketball Conference victory in Bobby J. Henry Gymnasium.

“That was just amazing. That’s unbelievable for middle school basketball,” said FMS head coach Randy Swartzentruber.

Center Alex Doerger, a seventh grader who helped the Admirals make a run to the James A. Ivey Jr. Memorial Middle School Basketball Tournament Championship Game at Karns last February, scored eight points against Hardin Valley.
